Sponsor a trap

We are on a mission to raise funds for our Kiwi Sanctuary to keep our kiwi chicks safe from stoats. Help us save kiwi by sponsoring a stoat trap.

Stoats are the biggest threat to kiwi chicks in the wild. Want to directly help save kiwi on the Coromandel? Sponsor a stoat trap in our Kiwi Sanctuary for only $65 per year, per trap.
